I just bought a green one, but I am wondering if the color is original.   Cameron (Cameron) Posted on Thursday, February 21, 2002 - 9:49 pm:    Hi Musash, I checked my archives and it appears that the TC530 has been refinished, there were metallic green colors available in the 1995 TC620 model which had 2 chrome P90 pickups,the 1996 TC420 model this had 2 chrome Super 58 pickups,there was a TC 740MN model from 1997 in mint green this had 2lipsticks & a humbucker in the bridge, in 1998 the was the TC220DG=Deep Green, his one had 2 exsposed pole humbuckers,not to worry it's still a cool guitar.   Musash (Musash) Posted on Sunday, March 03, 2002 - 7:01 am:    Cameron, thanks for checking. Can you tell me what colors the TC530 was made in originally?   Cameron (Cameron) Posted on Tuesday, March 05, 2002 - 9:00 pm:    The colors listed in the 1994 catalouge for the TC530 are: * ABB = Azure Blue Burst:Blue that fades to white. * BK= Black * PB = Pale Blue * GFA = Gravure Flame Amber (photoflame top ) * ROB = Royal Orange Burstrange fade to white. The ABB looked good, but ROB was SHIT and was discontinued as fast as it appeared. Cameron   Musash (Musash) Posted on Monday, December 30, 2002 - 3:39 pm:    Now look what I found! At Richard Harris' Ibanez Rules!! website: 1996 Ibanez Catalog - Talman Series, in the upper right corner: a green TC420 Talman! Looks like they made some after all. I have a TC530 in exact that same color, so I guess I have something a bit rare and maybe original after all. Anyone else ever seen a green Talman?   Craigjc (Craigjc) Posted on Thursday, March 06, 2003 - 4:13 pm:    Just won an auction on a '94 TC530. Based on the pictures, I'm a bit amazed because this is a sunburst finish "photo-flame". Looks real nice. The catalogs do not list a sunburst model (looks like cherry sunburst or possible a tobacco/dark sunburst). Has anyone ever seen a sunburst photo flame '94 TC530??   Craigjc (Craigjc) Posted on Friday, March 07, 2003 - 7:11 am:    Here's another one! Guess thay made them in sunburst! Amberburst Flame Talman   Munch (Munch) Posted on Monday, March 10, 2003 - 5:55 am:    Guys, The Talman is the only "modern" Ibanez that I have ever had any jonesing for. I used to think that it was the only Ibanez original design that had any real Strat vibe. That was until I discovered my Roadstar RS505!!! Anyway I would really dig one of the Japanese built Talmans with the 3 lipstick tubes and vibrato bridge. I have seen them when they were new with a flame top in amber and green!!! What model number is this??? A Friend of mine bought one that was silver sparkle, two Super58's and a Bigsby style vibrato. That was a cool guitar. Cheers, Mark   Craigjc (Craigjc) Posted on Monday, March 10, 2003 - 8:16 am:    Those would be the 1996 TC830. Maple top, alder body. Made in Korea, I believe. Seems like all of the Japanese made Talmans had Resoncast bodies (1994 and 1995).   Junk126 Username: Junk126 Registered: 06-2006 Posted on Friday, June 09, 2006 - 6:37 pm:    Interstate Music Company offered a green version that was exclusive to them. I'm not sure if it's the same exact color, but it might help
